Dry wool and wool blends in the "Woollen handcare" program. - The fine fabric of down filled items tend to shrink. Dry these items in the "Smoothing" program. Drying tips - Observe the maximum loads, see the "Program guide". Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying and wrinkling. - Do not place dripping wet items in the dryer. Spin the laundry after the wash for at least 30 seconds. - Dry delicate fabrics (with the fabric care symbol r) with the "Low temperature" option. - Open jackets to allow even drying. - Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. The amount of starch should be doubled during the wash. - Dry pure linen items only if it is recommended on the fabric care label. The surface of the fabric may become "rough". Dry these items in the "Smoothing" program. - Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and underwear) tend to shrink when washed and dried for the first time. Do not overdry these fabrics. - Permanent press and delicate fabrics tend to crease more the bigger the load size. For better drying results reduce the load size or select the "Shirts" program. - Wash new, colored items before drying for the first time and do not dry with light-colored items. These fabrics can "bleed" (also onto plastic parts of the dryer). Colored lint may also get on the light colored items. 11
